Tie 81. Andrews Bay R. R. & Land Go.

Florida homes. Business ana dwelling houses
have been erected by the hundred. Property
secured at the beginning OF the boom" has
been sold from s25 to $500 for ordinary Build
ing Lots. Every 'Old settler" has realized
handsome competency In disposing of por-
tiOn of his land at fancy prices. Docks have
been erected; hotels built and aided from
time to time; q line of seven boats ply regularly
between St. Andrews Bay and other ports;
and, altogether, the outlook promises that st.
Andrews Bay will in few years become tho
most important city of the gulf coast. 1t pos
sesses every natural advantage: q deep bay
more than sixty five miles long with its various
branches-with deep channels to the outer
gulf, at once the most charming and most use
ful body of water on the coast; u safe harbor
for the fleets of a world. Every species of
vegetable, fruit. and cereal will grow to perfec-
ton IN Its soft Italian climate; oysters in
countless million-the best In the word-rest
In thousands of exhaustless oyster beds; tim
ber easily accessible and sufficient In quantity
to furnish cargoes for years to the entire carry
ing capacity of nations fleet; q climate that,
both l1inteT and summer, Is the absolute perfec-
tion of earthly delight; free from malaria, high,
dry land, and beautifully located. These are
among other good reasons why st. Andrews
Bay is the most desirable location for Florida
home that the state can offer, and why this
company has confidence in the wisdom of its
present business policy. Within two years st.
Andrews Will be the second largest city in
Florida.
